Our Reception children have been shaking it up as part of their topic, Marvellous Machines. The class started by looking at machines that they use in school and at home.
Reception worked together in small groups to design their own healthy smoothie before chopping, peeling and washing different fruits. After using the blender, the class moved on to the toaster!
To make their toast for snack time, the class took a tally to find out how many children wanted brown bread and how many wanted white. Our children used the toaster machine to turn the soft bread into delicious crispy toast.
The group counted how many people were in the class, ready to set the table. They had the choice of butter, jam, or honey to spread on their slice of toast.
Here's what some of our children had to say about machines...
"Machines are things that can make work easier."
"We use lots of machines for cooking."
"Machines use electricity. I know because you had to plug them in."
The children would like to use a microwave next to make porridge, just like the three bears...
